lyrics

TREE LINE

At night we snuck across enemy lines.
By day we hide in forest, cover our signs.
My love, she was my only light.
She kept me high as a kite.

Rebels and freedom fighters, they all bailed.
I’m left alone with all the hound dogs on my trail.
And I feel I’m losin’ my mind.
Hide in the edge of the pines.

And I can’t go back…
Burned a bridge, I can’t go back.
And I can’t get home.
I’m in the tree line and I can’t go home….I’m all alone.

My men were chased and caught…and set on fire.
Done in by buckshot…and barbed wire.
And I feel I’m losin’ this fight.
I can’t give up, but I just might.

And I can’t go back…
I Burned a bridge, I can’t go back.
And I can’t get home.
I’m in the tree line and I can’t go home….I’m all alone.

(Bridge)…..back…etc..

My love, she was my only light.
She kept me high as a kite.
And I feel I’m losin’ my mind.
Hide in the edge of the pine.

And I can’t go back..
I Burned a bridge, I can’t go back.
And I can’t get home.
I’m in the tree line and I can’t go home.

And I can’t go back…
I Burned a bridge, I can’t go back.
And I can’t get home.
I’m in the tree line and I can’t go home….I’m all alone
